1
00:00:00,206 --> 00:00:01,039
- [commander] Three,

2
00:00:01,039 --> 00:00:01,872
two,

3
00:00:01,872 --> 00:00:02,705
one.

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,070
- The entire purpose of TAC Week

5
00:00:10,070 --> 00:00:12,000
is to build combat proficiency

6
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,290
around the wing mission,

7
00:00:13,290 --> 00:00:15,190
which is to be combat ready today

8
00:00:15,190 --> 00:00:16,300
for tomorrow's fight.

9
00:00:16,300 --> 00:00:17,650
For the tactical missions

10
00:00:17,650 --> 00:00:20,040
that we'll be flying during the week,

11
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:21,850
the aircraft commanders
are gonna find themselves

12
00:00:21,850 --> 00:00:24,790
with much more information than is normal

13
00:00:24,790 --> 00:00:26,130
on a local training sortie.

14
00:00:26,130 --> 00:00:28,160
We'll be operating with
the similar aircraft,

15
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:28,993
the A-10's,

16
00:00:28,993 --> 00:00:30,740
which have whole different
set of training rules

17
00:00:30,740 --> 00:00:32,290
that we need to abide by.

18
00:00:32,290 --> 00:00:35,900
There'll be a more complex
operating scenario with threats

19
00:00:35,900 --> 00:00:38,900
and maneuvers that while
we're proficient at,

20
00:00:38,900 --> 00:00:42,130
we don't regularly execute

21
00:00:42,130 --> 00:00:45,210
in this type of high stress scenario.

22
00:00:45,210 --> 00:00:46,250
So, the aircraft commander

23
00:00:46,250 --> 00:00:48,160
will have to make decisions

24
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:50,390
based on much more information than normal

25
00:00:50,390 --> 00:00:52,700
and in consent with his crew.

26
00:00:52,700 --> 00:00:54,610
And it's a great learning experience

27
00:00:54,610 --> 00:00:56,470
for not only aircraft commander

28
00:00:56,470 --> 00:00:57,600
but the entire crew

29
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,890
in how to operate as a team

30
00:01:00,890 --> 00:01:02,872
in a combat environment.

31
00:01:02,872 --> 00:01:05,455
(upbeat music)

32
00:01:43,345 --> 00:01:45,570
For 2021 and forward,

33
00:01:45,570 --> 00:01:48,310
we can use what we
learned in 2020 TAC week

34
00:01:48,310 --> 00:01:51,480
to build training
experiences for our air crew

35
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,400
that don't require us to go anywhere.

36
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,450
And I think that's gonna
be an important part

37
00:01:55,450 --> 00:01:58,440
of how we think about combat
proficiency going forward

38
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,730
and what can we do with what we have

39
00:02:00,730 --> 00:02:02,988
to meet the commander's intent.

40
00:02:02,988 --> 00:02:03,821
- [commander] Three,

41
00:02:03,821 --> 00:02:04,654
two,

42
00:02:04,654 --> 00:02:05,922
one.

43
00:02:05,922 --> 00:02:08,505
(upbeat music)

44
00:02:28,322 --> 00:02:30,989
(air swooshing)
